Pioneer PDP-428XD
By Ian Morris (cnet.co.uk)Read the full review
With its 'Kuro', blacker-than-black styling, the Pioneer PDP-428XD does live up to its hype. It might sound like a ridiculous thing to say about a TV but we really fell in love with the styling. It would make a great centrepiece to any home cinema and ...

Picture can look a little soft with certain settings engaged ; price
A high-quality TV with the sort of black levels that we last saw on CRT TVs. It's not perfect but it does move home cinema screens up to a new level where they can offer something the LCD-based competition can't
It's no secret that Pioneer has a long history of excellent televisions. If...

Pioneer PDP-508XD
By Rob Gillman (cnet.co.uk)Read the full review
Pioneer's top-of-the-range PDP-508XD is without doubt one of the best screens we've ever reviewed. Its design and build quality are difficult to fault, it has no less than three HDMI inputs and the picture quality is truly outstanding
Awesome black levels ; blazing colours ; smooth motion ; heaps of picture tweaking options ; classy design and build quality ; great range of connections
Lack of 'Full HD' 1080p resolution ; some reflections on screen
Televisions don't get much better than this. A winning combination of excellent picture quality, stylish design and user-friendly features, this 50-inch plasma should be at the top of any serious home cinema fan's shopping list. It's pricey, but it's ...
Pioneer has consistently lived up to its moniker when it comes to flat-screen...

By smajid (asia.cnet.com)Read the full review
it took 4-5 Months of research to settle down for this purchase decision but surely one that i shall never regret. The Screen has turned out to be a mile above my expectations. I had been intimidated by all the conventional brand preferences like Sony, Sa...
Spectacular Picture, Absolutely Top-notch Build Quality (better than most screens out there), Arguably the best 42" Screen Available
The fixed base (which i traded for free with the 427's Swivel stand)

A respectable plasma screen
By mengho (asia.cnet.com)Read the full review
A very good plasma screen. respectable and a huge improvement from its older model. well done Pioneer!
Deep black, a very impressive contrast in normal dvd and Blu- ray play back
Too black sometimes. dark movie sences sometimes go black. eg: in spider man 3's dark sence. Colour over saturated soemtimes. Pricey

The goal was straightforward: to build a screen that delivered the absolute best picture quality in the world. A screen that was true to how filmmakers intended their work to be seen. The result is KURO. 'KURO' means black in Japanese; this is...

Manufacturer's Description
Nothing is as powerful and emotional as film. It's the very reason why Pioneer has put more than ten years of design, research and development into building KURO: a flat screen television that will let you see and hear film like never before. The goal was straightforward: to build a screen that delivered the absolute best picture quality in the world. A screen that was true to how filmmakers intended their work to be seen. The result is KURO. 'KURO' means black in Japanese; this is relevant because KURO screens have significantly deeper black levels than any other flat-screen TV on the market, some 80% deeper. The deepest black levels produce the purest colors, which reveal the sharpest details. This is KURO. The KURO screen gives you the ability to see literally every shade between black and white. Now, the film you see - and feel - on-screen is unparalleled in range and detail, the ultimate appearance of vivid and flawless color. The impact of what you see on KURO is unlike anything you have possibly seen before.
